Opis

The classic series of humorous cosy mysteries. "A most beguiling protagonist!" - New York Times "This is not so much black comedy as black-currant comedy ... You can't stop reading. Or laughing." - The Sun How do you catch an art thief? With artistic bait, of course. And who else but the talented Miss Seeton would provide a painting for Scotland Yard, hoping it will get stolen? Before the trap is sprung, a second thief strikes ... in one of England's most stately homes. Now Miss Seeton incognito is off to the scene to draw her own conclusions ... Serene amidst every kind of skullduggery, this eccentric English spinster steps in where Scotland Yard stumbles, armed with nothing more than her sketchpad and umbrella! AUTHOR: Heron Carvic (1913-1980) was an actor and writer, most recognisable today for his voice portrayal of the character Gandalf in the first BBC Radio broadcast version of The Hobbit. He started writing the Miss Seeton novels in the 1960s, after using her in a short story. He later recalled that "Miss Seeton upped and demanded a book".
